I love Jennifer Hillier’s books and when I saw that Wonderland, which was previously released only as an e-book was being re-released as an audiobook and mass-market I had to listen to it. I was not disappointed. It has Hillier’s signature creepiness and depraved killers. How can an amusement park that has been around for decades and has an Elm Street and a clown and doll museum not be creepy? It is a sad look at what happens when a town depends on one thing for its survival and everyone important goes out of their way to make sure that Wonderland never gets any bad press. Bad things have happened in the past – young boys have gone missing – but they were glossed over and never really investigated. Then Vanessa Castro comes to Seaside, WA as the new deputy chief of police and on her first day on the job a dead body is found on the midway and another young boy disappears. Escaping her own demons, she left her position as a Seattle detective to move her children to what she thought was a nice small town. She soon realizes that that there are a lot of secrets at Wonderland, and she ignores the way things have been done in the past and attacks the cases with a ‘no holds barred attitude’.
